Turbo type pump and fluid supply unit
A turbo type pump configured to pressurize a fluid and supply the fluid to a downstream side of a fluid passage by rotation of an impeller provided in the fluid passage, includes: a reduced-diameter portion having a reduced inner diameter in a state of forming a reverse surface facing a downstream side, the reduced-diameter portion being provided at a portion located on an upstream side of the impeller in the fluid passage; and a reverse partition wall portion provided in the reverse surface and configured to restrict a flow of the fluid in a circumferential direction.
1. A turbo type pump configured to pressurize a fluid and supply the fluid to a downstream side of a fluid passage by rotation of an impeller provided in the fluid passage, the turbo type pump comprising:
a reduced-diameter portion having a reduced inner diameter in a state of forming a reverse surface facing a downstream side, the reduced-diameter portion being provided at a first portion located on an upstream side of the impeller in the fluid passage; and
a reverse partition wall portion provided in the reverse surface and configured to restrict a flow of the fluid in a circumferential direction,
wherein a plurality of the reverse partition wall portions are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction of the fluid passage, and
wherein a reverse concave surface is provided between the reverse partition wall portions, the reverse concave surface having a curved shape from an outer peripheral side toward an inner peripheral side of the fluid passage.
2. The turbo type pump according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the reverse partition wall portions extend radially with respect to an axis of the reduced-diameter portion.
3. The turbo type pump according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the reverse partition wall portions extend so as to be inclined in a rotation direction of the impeller from the outer peripheral side toward the inner peripheral side with respect to a radius passing through an axis of the reduced-diameter portion.
4. The turbo type pump according to claim 1 , wherein the reverse concave surface is provided so that a center of curvature is located closer to an outer peripheral side of the reduced-diameter portion.
5. The turbo type pump according to claim 1 , wherein the reverse concave surface is formed in a spherical shape.
6. The turbo type pump according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of front-stage partition wall portions configured to restrict the flow of the fluid in the circumferential direction is provided on an inner peripheral surface of a second portion located between the reduced-diameter portion and the impeller in the fluid passage.
7. The turbo type pump according to claim 6 ,
wherein the portion located between the reduced-diameter portion and the impeller in the fluid passage extends linearly in a rotation axis of the impeller,
wherein the plurality of front-stage partition wall portions are provided at a position corresponding to respective reverse partition wall portions,
wherein a rectifying groove having a cylindrical concave shape that is provided between the plurality of front-stage partition wall portions.
8. The turbo type pump according to claim 1 , wherein a second portion located between the reduced-diameter portion and the impeller in the fluid passage is formed in a tapered shape so that an inner diameter of the second portion gradually increases toward an upstream side.
9. The turbo type pump according to claim 8 , wherein an inner diameter of an introduction port communicating with the impeller in the fluid passage coincides with an inner diameter of the reduced-diameter portion.
10. A fluid supply unit comprising: the turbo type pump according to claim 1 ; and
a positive displacement pump connected to a third portion of the fluid passage, the third portion being located on the downstream side of the impeller.
